[quote=Anonymous]I am honestly SO surprised by the responses on this thread. I held a S&D party (as a host, not stylist) last night. Sure, a lot of people declined, didn't show, or only bought a few items if they did come. I could care less! A good time was had by all and I would certainly never "unfriend" someone who declined my invite to a party.

Seriously whining ladies, grow up. If someone invites you and then you decline, and they stop being friends with you (or because you didn't buy anything), they were NOT your friend to begin with it. S&D, MK, etc. have zero to do with it. If someone decides you aren't a friend because you didn't want to buy something from them, it's indicative of your relationship with that person; likely the crappy morale on part of this person you thought was your friend.

If someone invites you to a S&D party and you don't want to go - don't go!! If you go and don't want to buy - don't buy!! WTF??? Since when did women become such mindless idiots?? Can we not speak for ourselves anymore? I completely understand that some sales reps are pushy and downright rude. But this isn't selective to the direct sales market - it happens EVERYWHERE. In EVERY store!! We deal with it everyday! For goodness sake, even grocery stores do it by having taste tests!!

Stella and Dot makes nice jewelry. Nicer than a lot of crap you can get for the same price at similar stores. And, as the service rep responded in this post previously, if it falls apart or you are not satisfied, give them a call! What do you do with other things that are poor quality??

I have zero affiliation with Stella and Dot. I was recruited heavily by a MK rep about three years ago. She was too much, she came on too strong. But it was just her as a person. I never bought from her because I felt put on the spot. I bought a LOT of MK from a friend who did it on the side, as she never pressured me. I think it has a lot to do with personal approach.

If you feel like someone won't be your friend if you don't buy or attend a party, you might want to reexamine your friendship with that person. I'm not saying it's you but rather the person who is putting ridiculous demands on you and your friendship. Many woman love to buy jewelry. So if you do, why not do and it help someone you like, or do it in an environment where you can try things on, have your friends' opinion and drink wine at the same time? S&D is not making the fortune 500 because they are full of nasty bitches doing something wrong. It's a very clever idea and if you have a problem with it, you might want to look inside and figure out why you can't say no, make informed purchases, call a company to complain if you are unhappy and who you "think" your friends are.
